"Union is the neighboring sister restaurant of The Meadowlark (also on this guide), but while The Meadowlark is a cocktail bar with only a few small bites, Union really wants to feed you. The fantastic dishes here all have little twists that make them stand out from the usual pub food suspects—like lightly breaded fried olives filled with mortadella, or juicy lamb and pistachio meatballs swimming in a caper salsa verde. To remind us that this is a bar, they have a long whiskey list, which they use to make a variety of creative Old Fashioneds." - adrian kane, john ringor
